Fire at Galesburg, Illinois. Galesburg, Ill., May 27. --A fire broke out in this town this morning, destroying property to the amount of $35,000, on which there is an insurance of only $13,000. The principal losers are A. Jacobs, boots, shoes and clothing, $8,000; Bartlett & Judson, furniture, $6,000; Reed & Babcock, hardware, $5,000.
to Leavenworth, on Sunday last, was for the purpose of breaking up his brigade, and making Capt Prince Major General, he, as usual, states what there is not a word of truth in and if Governor Reynolds says so, he simply lies, and no one knows it better than himself. It is well known that my business to Leavenworth related to the protection of Kansas, and was made in consequence of a message from Generals Fremont and Prentiss.

It is located in the centre of the State, surrounded by a country peculiarly rich and fertile, and inhabited by an intelligent and refined community.

He desires that the remains of his late wife shall be interred in the Congressional Burying Ground, and put in a coffin made of granite, the top to be placed on two granite pins, one inch in diameter, and one inch in height.--So that they may be placed in a fire proof building to be erected in the southeast end of the garden, which is to hold the stereotype plates of the Congressio
